Day after giving it up again, Hardik resumes water

Aday after giving up water for the second time since he started his indefinite fast, Patidar leader Hardik Patel sipped water in presence of Loktantrik Janata Dal leader Sharad Yadav on Saturday afternoon. Yadav had gone to see him at SGVP hospital where he is currently admitted. He was shifted to the private hospital from Sola Civil Hospital on Friday night.

Later, Hardik wrote on a microblogging site in Hindi, “I can die for those who love me and want me to see alive but I cannot die for those who want me to die.” He had stopped having water on Friday evening to protest against the government not having dialogue with him on his demands.

After meeting him, Swami Agnivesh said, “Gujarat CM is just a face, the central government must intervene in the issue. His (Hardik’s) demands are genuine and Sarva Dharma Sansad is with him.”

PAAS spokesperson Nikhil Savani said in one of the messages, “Government did not call us to meet. We had given them time till 11 am. However Hardik has resumed water consumption as he must survive if he wants to fight. Doctors suggested he consume water to avoid kidney infection.”
